Passenger Spaceships

The capsule can accommodate eight passengers and one pilot in comfortable, reclining seats, but it can also be customised to adjust particular requests.

Boeing's Starliner capsule is said to be finally ready to reattempt a key test launch to the international space station on May 19. The uncrewed flight, named OFT-2, is a vital step towards certifying the spaceship for eventually carrying passengers, giving NASA a second taxi provider alongside SpaceX.

SpaceX’s Crew Dragon astronaut capsules have reached end of production, a company executive told Reuters, as Elon Musk's space transportation company heaps resources on its next-generation spaceship program.

British billionaire Richard Branson prepared on Sunday to climb into his Virgin Galactic passenger rocket plane and soar more than 50 miles (80 km) above the New Mexico desert in the vehicle's first fully crewed test flight to the edge of space.

The Japanese government plans to develop an intercontinental passenger spaceship network that will enable people to fly to the major cities of the world in two hours or even lesser.

Virgin Galactic's next passenger spaceship has reached a major construction milestone, the company said Wednesday.

Space Exploration Technologies plans to launch two paying customers on a tourist trip around the moon next year using a spaceship under development for NASA astronauts and a heavy-lift rocket yet to be flown, Chief Executive Elon Musk told reporters on Monday.

Thirty years after the space shuttle Challenger exploded during liftoff, a new generation of spaceships continues to build on changes made after NASA's fatal accident.

Blue Origin's New Shepard spaceship is designed to fly three people and/or a mix of passengers/ payloads to altitudes about 100 km above Earth.

A human-factors expert will join a team investigating the fatal test-flight crash of the Virgin Galactic passenger rocket plane to study why the co-pilot prematurely unlocked the ship's pivoting tail section, the National Transportation Safety Board chairman said on Monday.

The head of the federal agency examining last week's fatal crash of a Virgin Galactic passenger spaceship during a test flight in California's Mojave Desert said on Sunday the vehicle appears to have broken apart in flight.

Richard Branson is set to meet his Virgin Galactic space team in California's Mojave Desert on Saturday following the crash of a passenger spaceship being developed by his company that killed one pilot and seriously injured the other.

A passenger spaceship being developed by Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic company crashed during a test flight, killing one of the pilots.

The powered test flight over California's Mojave Desert lasted 16 seconds and broke the sound barrier.

Virgin Galactic's passenger spaceplane, which is designed to take tourists to the edge of space, flew its first rocket-powered test flight Monday, breaking the sound barrier at high altitude.
